. 2024 Aug;
111(4):823-825.
PMID: 39137750
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic disease of major public health importance. Definitive diagnosis requires neuroimaging, which is typically unavailable in rural impoverished regions of endemicity. Screening immunoassays can support diagnosis in...

. 2024 Apr;
17(1):172.
PMID: 38566124
Background: Antigen detection in Taenia solium cysticercosis confirms viable infection in the intermediate host (either pig or human). The reference B158/B60 monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based Ag-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has acceptable...

PMID: 37367233
Coproantigen detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (coAg ELISA) is a vital tool for detecting and treating cases of Taenia solium taeniasis. However, the assay's procedures require costly materials and sophisticated...

Nateros F, Saenz E, Saavedra H, Gonzales I, Pretell E, Perez E, et al.
Am J Trop Med Hyg
. 2023 May;
108(6):1188-1191.
PMID: 37127275
Patients with subarachnoid neurocysticercosis (NCC) are usually older than those with parenchymal disease. Whether this difference reflects a prolonged presymptomatic period or a delay in diagnosis is not clear. From...

Pathogens
. 2023 Apr;
12(4).
PMID: 37111451
Monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a complementary diagnosis technique for neurocysticercosis (NCC), which detects circulating parasite antigen (Ag) indicative of viable infection and Ag levels that correlate...

J Clin Microbiol
. 2021 Dec;
60(2):e0155021.
PMID: 34851685
The diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NCC) depends on neuroimaging and serological confirmation. While antibody detection by enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) fails to predict viable NCC, EITB banding patterns provide information about...
